It does hurt  but I can't bring it up can I? She's not paid to like me, so what does it matter? Except it kind of does, to me.

I would certainly discuss how you feel, but from your own feelings, not what you are imagining about your T's feelings.
It looks to me like you want reassurance you are not needy and that you view neediness as "awful". At the same time, you feel like you are needy and awful. How can your T help you with that, break into those loops? That is what I would discuss.
I think you would benefit by discussing exactly what you mean by needy and demanding and why you feel that is awful. Everyone needs other people, everyone needs "attention". If we do not know how to get our needs met, to get the attention we need, the help we need, to ask for it and negotiate that whole interaction, that's a problem (not that we need others and attention in the first place).
